not for sale. i'm looking to turn this truck out with a static drop. i might have to get it from Early Classics . i was thinking that someone might have a drop kit that they wanted to sell.

ortegamotor,... That's my '69 swb you pictured.
It's a 5.5"/7.5" drop.
I pieced it together with parts I bought over time.
2.5" drop spindles
3" Summit Racing brand springs
ECE 6" rear springs
1.5" drop block
Bolt-in c-notch
ECE rear shock relocators and Super Track Bar
Belltech front shocks and KYB rear shockks from ECE.

Take your time and keep looking on here.
If you don't have time, call ECE!

Hey Lolife , you rock! I really appreciate you posting all the components for me. I really like what you did with your truck. Mine is a long bed but I think with right stance it will set this truck off. Thanks again man , I'll be sure to post pictures of the progress. Thanks again and have a Great Holiday!!!

ortegamotor · 12-14-2011, 11:23 PM

Right! i just got the rockers replaced so she's 100% rust free. once i drop the new motor and tranny in ,and adjust the altitude we should be good to go... Thanks to LowLife on the correct drop info. Its like making cookies. , all you have to do is follow the recipe ..
